Helping affected users with database 07.26.09 problem

[Irhere]

My laptop log shows that it ran a scheduled scan using database 07.26.09 at 3:43:07pm on 7/26/13.

Luckily, although it was set to auto quarantine nothing was found & it did not cause any problems with my computer. I have since set it to not auto quarantine in case this problem this should happen again.

Is that the best way go for now?

Also it seems to me that MBAM has not yet come out with a proper announcement & alert regarding this matter.

That is the first thing I uncheck. Too dangerous.

Hello and

Yes that is a good precaution to take, this way if anything is detected you can review the items before you quarantine them.

Shrugged, Your reply is greatly appreciated.

It seems that more attention needs to be paid to how a program that is in use works.

Does this hold true for both scan & real time? Then should a scan only be run when it can be watched & what about real time?

Since the false/positive problem, I would like to see MBAM  provide more insight as to how to handle this.

Thanks for your reply.

In a scheduled scan it runs normally without user intervention and typically would even run silently. If you have auto quarantine set then it should remove the threat. If you do not then it basically should only log that it found it. In either case it should not wait as it's an automated task not looking for user input.
